“…in our last second of lucidity, we should not despair, remembering that if the adventure of the mind repeats itself, it is always one step higher on the spiral. We would then entrust to other epochs the mission of conducting this adventure to its final stage, the centre of immobility, and go to destruction with hope in our hearts.” - Morning of the Magicians, p.66
Inundation, a collaboration with Albert Sanchez, is a non-representational film that submerges the viewer in the ephemeral interplay of light and shadow. Employing cyanotype and eco-coloring techniques, the piece captures fleeting impressions and refractions, where illumination emerges only to be swallowed again by darkness. As much about erasure as it is about presence, Inundation meditates on the impermanence of light—its ability to imprint, dissolve, and transform the cinematic surface into a shifting, alchemical space.
